This is an Eddie LaCrosse novel. Eddie is a sword jockey or fantasy
appropriate private eye type of hero except no tommyguns or molls.
Eddie is a sword for hire with a conscience. I like the qualities that Bledsoe provides
his main protagonist. Bledsoe’s world is
a harsh one with interesting qualities.
It has room for privateers and pirates, ghost and sea monsters and sell
swords. He paints good scenes and
better characters.
This is a quest but not your typical dwarf, magic user,
warrior type of quest. This is more of
a missing person private eye quest taken with swords and monsters. It is a formula that works well for Bledsoe.
I like tough protagonists who aren’t afraid to have ethics
and a few soft spots. Cap’n Jane is a
thoroughly female sidekick who doesn’t hesitate to use all her assets in her
work. This was a very good story and I
plan on seeking out the other Eddie LaCrosse novels.
I highly recommend it.
